18th Birthday Poem

This 18th birthday poem was written for a friend to give to her son as an 18th birthday gift as an alternative to the usual 18th birthday cards, as she felt she wanted something a gift that was a bit more special to comemorate his 18th. She also passed it onto her friend who changed the lines
it,s a boy to it,s a girl
and
this is my son to this is my daughter
so that she could send the same thoughts to her daughter. Either way i think the poem works for both daughters and sons.
If you are looking for something a little more personal why not try my friends site at PickaPoem.

Great 18th Birthday Gifts

Flesh and Blood

Exactly 18 years ago
On this very day
I held my breath
As I heard them say

It’s a boy
You must be thrilled
And in that moment
The tears that spilled

Over the years
You’ve made me proud
And I’ve always wanted
To shout out loud

This is my son
For all to see
My flesh and blood
Every part of me

So on this day
With love that’s true
These chosen words
I give to you

I'm not much of a poet but I do love writing songs from time to time when I find time =)

That poem's a very touching 18th birthday gift.
